How does the addition of wollastonite fibers to WPC improve flexural modulus in planters?
The addition of wollastonite fibers to Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) significantly improves the flexural modulus of planters, enhancing their structural integrity and durability. Wollastonite, a naturally occurring mineral fiber, acts as a reinforcing agent within the WPC matrix. Its high aspect ratio and stiffness distribute stress more evenly, reducing deformation under load. This results in planters that resist bending and maintain shape even under heavy soil or environmental pressures. Additionally, wollastonite fibers improve dimensional stability and reduce moisture absorption, further extending the lifespan of WPC planters. This makes them ideal for outdoor use, combining sustainability with superior mechanical performance.
